Re: [FWDLK] Torque converter question

Brendan,

Yes. It will work fine in a cast iron TorqueFlight, up to 1961. It will not
work in an aluminum 1962 and later TorqueFlight. The PowerFlight torque
converter has a slightly higher stall speed to compensate for the taller
first gear. It will allow a little higher engine rpm off the line and better
performance than a stock 57 TorqueFlight converter.

Subject: [FWDLK] Torque converter question

I was wondering if the torque converter from a '56 V8 Powerflight
transmission would work with a Torqueflight(for a '57 Dodge V8)?

Both transmissions are air cooled, converters have cooling fins.

Any advise appreciated!
